BOONE, Iowa—This is Fire Prevention Week. Boone County Emergency Management Coordinator Lance Kooiker says the idea is to keep you fire safe at work AND at home.
This year’s theme is Not Every Hero Wears a Cape, PLAN and PRACTICE your ESCAPE.
In a typical home fire, you may have as little as one to two minutes to escape safely from the time the smoke alarm sounds. Escape planning and practice can help you make the most of the time you have, giving everyone enough time to get out.
Take time this week to plan your escape. Get the kids and pets involved. Watch a 2 minute HOW TO video here.
